This show is fantastic. Download now, who knows what the future holds?

The sound is phenomenal. The music sounds like its thru a soundboard but the audience is loud and it feels like you're at the show (at least in my headphones it does).

The band is amazing. Tight as ever. Even when Bobby's growling and trying to make Donna & Jerry laugh, they somehow still hold it together. Donna is the hero of Dancin just by remembering the words with Bobby shouting out bizarre things at bizarre times. They're having so much fun ya can't help but smile, smile, smile.

Yes, this is the mescaline show.

this is a dicks pick!?

At 8:03 in Loser, after the song ends, Garcia starts riffing "Ain't We Got Fun"!

Check out the (one of a kind?) riff at 4:07-4:12 of Supplication!

Peace,
Bob

As I listened to this I recalled an interview I heard an interview with Garcia who, when asked about playing while high said, (paraphrasing) sometimes you"re on & you don't want to do anything but play; other times you just want to stick your head in a bucket of Jell-O. I think this show is just this side of the Jell-O and is a great example of the tribal feel that flowed through the night. Whole show hits me deeply. Scarlet>Fire was complete, vocals out of "Fire" made me howl with delight*fanatstic. I thought Bobby had a really good night on guitar, finished this up very strong, hit me as an Duane/Dickey moment he was having with Jerry. The wacky energy continued with"Dancin' into D/S and they pushed it forward with great intensity...the energy the band, & esp Jerry, put out as they jammed back from space was some of the cleanest, purest energy I heard pouring forth. Donna shows what an asset she is when everything is balanced, her Muscle Shoals-honed vocals should never be discounted-IMO-and when it all comes together she shines. But I do go on...another good example of that true communal essence that flows through evenings like this, is Quicksilver's "Who Do You Love" off of their album "Happy Trails". Always a good signoff...

Peace, Steve

like most of the 78 shows this one is fun but not as tight as 77' shows. the Dancin is crazy and werewolves was FUN!

I like this show. It plays nicely on my computer system but that's the only place I'm gonna hear it causes oops no downloads anymore.

my theory on the weirdness/abilities is the oral consumption of large amounts (or small-strong amounts) of cannabis-sativa before and throughout the evening.

interestingly enough - This girl I know and other good people I know have expressed the opinion that a singer can improve his/her singing in certain cases through oral consumption of large amounts (or small-strong amounts) of cannabis-sativa before and throughout the concert evening.
Bottom Line:
THC+other cannabis ingredients may help some people sing better.
Generating mentally stimulating feelings that some find positively different versus smoking the plant which negatively affects ones vocal chords. ( and lungs )

A nice audience recording, Garcia's voice is front and center amidst the cheers. He extends his solo for a second run, and puts a bit of Werewolves into his singing of the final chorus, which is also extended (7:24 in all).

You know, recently i was asking myself, "Self, how did these boys get up on stage, heads full of psychadellics, and play music so smoothly. And how is it we dont notice when they're all tripped out"

Well, this show answered that one i suppose. I'd love to find some more shows where the good ol' are all whacked out and tripping sack.If anyone is wise to any of this, drop me a line at either...

Dancin' definately gets strange! Ol' Bobby's lost his mind. These are some weird vocals even for him. He cracks donna up at one point. Get the show if it is just for this!

imho.....im not the biggest fan of 78, but this is among my favorite shows of all time. I just think its fierce....just check out jerry singing on cr&s, and especially bobby singing on LL/Supplication......wow!!!

This is well known as "the mescaline show". Things get the strangest in "Dancing In The Streets", but all through the show things are a little off; strange tempos, vocals a little out of control, all the details just a little bit skewed.

I found the novelty wore off after a couple of listenings, leaving a show that was just OK. It's worth listening to, and some people really like it, but to my taste it's a little too close to falling apart into chaos.
